Jarmusch’s First Feature
This film was made on next to no budget by a bunch of rag tag film makers. The crew and cast comprised mostly of friends. While this is not one of Jarmusch’s highly acclaimed films the stories of how it was made and the struggles to produce his first work make this an important piece of film history.
For instance this scene was shot in very limited circumstances with no permit and a borrowed car from a fan which was crashed shortly after this scene was shot.
